The water isn't going to do you much good, mineral spirits will float
on it. Either use a solution of something like Simple Green or purple
stuff in water, or the mineral spirits by itself. Just depends on
what kind of crud you're trying to cut. The water-based solvents are
good for animal fats but not so great for bearing grease. They'll cut
it, eventually, but it takes longer than a petroleum-based solvent
would. And purple stuff will eat aluminum if left too long, has
caustic in it.
